Here Is Video Proof That Wes Anderson Actually Directs With A Scarf On

In a lot of ways, I’m more interested in the construction of Grand Budapest Hotel than the film itself (our review here). It’s at least as much a music box or a ship in a bottle as it is a film, and an amazingly impressive ship in a bottle at that. Here, courtesy of TheFilmStage, we have 13 minutes of behind-the-scenes footage from the movie. Probably the least surprising part is that we see Wes Anderson directing the film while wearing a scarf. He’s actually wearing what looks like a tweed jacket, a shirt, a wool sweater vest, AND a scarf. I’m convinced the man doesn’t have sweat glands.

I saw him do a Q and A and he was so nice and gracious and self-deprecating. He even tried to make sense out of peoples’ ridiculously nonsensical questions in a very kind and humble manner. It made me like him even more.

Has anyone considered he maybe has horrible scarring on his neck, or, you know, just likes to get choked out during sex? (C’mon, I can’t be the the only one with a scarf collection rivaled only by that of the armada).
